Building a lean & fit me - one bite at a time

Pretty strange to do some real swim training and it did wear me out. Kickboard, buoy, flip turns, balance. Wow, am I out of practice!
So, its 78 degees, and I'm looking for a sweater. Enough with the rain already! I need to carefully bake myself in the sun!!!
Raining this morning. Not unpleasant and it's good that it forces me to take it easy and relax a little more than I normally do here. Lots of monkeys and birds always make for good amusement.
Been getting in the pool a bit. First real swimming since I had my shoulder done. It feels better than I expected it to. Of course, I'm only swimming about 50 feet at a time. LOL!

Just messing around with some easy stroke work
Down and around the beach and back up. Beautiful morning!
Finally got connected to the internet. Nothing moves quickly here. My friend and I walked down to the beach this morning. The hill/mountain that the house is on is quite steep and around 550 feet & 3/4 mile from the beach. When we were headed down the road this morning, we passed three guys on bikes. I can't imagine riding on this steep dirt road. Very impressive.
We're starting to settle into a routine. Good walk/workout in the morning followed by bird/monkey watching, and afternoon swim, cerveza and black beans. Life is good.

Holy crap. Where'd that come from?!?!?!
Pushed hard out there today and even ran a bit. Had a great pacer who let me start slow and built up as we went. The last 1/2 mile was downhill and I told him to go without me. I'd try to keep up, but if I couldn't, don't hold back for me. He finished about a minute ahead of me, but gave me great incentive to keep pushing. Lots of fun out there this morning!
Out portion - slightly uphill and into the wind
Return trip, slightly downhill with a cross/tailwind
Heading out for my 5K this morning, then I'll come home, grab a quick bike and hop on my bike to ride out to see Fred. He's doing radio communications for The Tour de Cure bike tour today about 15 miles from here. I'll hang out with him for the afternoon, then either ride back or hop a ride with him. Going to be a fun day!
Had a great time on the Safari last night. Jack Hanna was charming as always, starting to show his age a bit though. Aren't we all!

Down the hill, around the beach, and back up. 640 feet and 3/4 mile down to the beach. Not so bad going down, but man does it hurt coming back up!
Playing with the kickboard
